Dating?

Of course I've done it before.

But I don't like it.

When we break up,

I feel like I wasted time.

It makes me feel futile and bitter.

I hate such feelings.

When you date, you're restrained.
It can tire you out.

It's already hard
as it is taking care of myself.

It's too much pressure
to care for someone else.

When I have free time,
I just slouch around.

It's the most comfortable.

When you date, you have to make sure
not to get on her nerves.

You have to
keep track of anniversaries too.

To be honest, I don't have any savings.

It's not like we'll only eat street food
and go to the movies.

We'll have to go to nice places
and eat nice things every now and then.

We sometimes have to exchange
expensive gifts so we can take pictures

and upload it on social media
to boast about it.

I'm tired of reciting my profile
every time I meet someone new.

I'm too old to believe in destinies

and falling in love at first sight.

Whenever I feel lonely,

it would be nice to have someone

who'll be on my side no matter what.

But dating can be emotionally demanding.

The most important thing in the world
is me.

If I have time,

I'll focus on building
my experience and career.

I think it's a talent to be able
to date as much as you want.

I'll skip dating and just get married
right away if our conditions match.

Also, marriage isn't a necessity.

I'll decide later.

To be honest, what's good about dating?

It's too tiresome. Why do people date?

Why does it sound cute
when someone says it's tiresome?

It means the person is really
mindful of it

for it to be tiresome.

To me, it sounds like

they're ready to fall in love
at any moment

if the right person shows up.

Yes, let's just say that's what it is

instead of telling us to date.

But I really find it tiresome.

Eating meals on time is tiresome already.
What's so great about dating?

Did you ask what's so great about dating?

People act like it's not true,

but everyone hopes their heart

will race because of love.

Pitpat. Pitpat.

I wonder if my heart will race
if someone accidentally sends me money.

Maybe if what I write
gets published as a book?

That's true love.

Why are your lips so beautiful?

They'll last three months at the most.

Hey, can I feel your heart?
Is it even beating?

- Hey. My heart
- What?

is beating fast to extend my life.
Mind your own business.

Gosh.

The coffee always gets ready
at an important time. Wait right here.

[Lonely Enough to Love]

[Episode 1: Who Are You
to Make Me Feel Warm?]

[Episode 1: Who Are You
to Make Me Feel Warm?]

"Social media addiction"?
What's so bad about it?

Instead of getting one person's love,
it's better to get many likes.

[Different Mental Health Clinic]

My mom tells me to stop holding onto
my phone

and demands that I go outside,
meet people, and date.

But there are many people
on social media too.

Exactly. We know that there are
so many cool people

in here.

Everything we want is in here.

Exactly.

Right. Didn't we follow each other?

I don't follow you.

Really? Then can you press like
on some of the posts?

I only press likes for women.

It only takes a couple of clicks.

Still.

Is that how it is?

Is a millisecond too long for you
to spend on me?

I thought we had a connection,
but I was wrong.

I think I need a like to feel better.

If someone I know doesn't like my picture,

it stays on my mind all day,
and it upsets me.

Darn it!

No one's interested in someone like me.

Mister. You're acting strange.

You sound like a loser.

Do you think it's just me?

Me too?

[Double ego]

[Mirror technique]

People don't realize it
unless they're told.

Even when they're told,
so many people don't get it.

Look. This is what you look like
right now.

You have to put a mirror in front of them
for them to realize it.

It's a method of psychotherapy
that helps the patient

see themselves as an observer.

What do we call this technique?

- Mirror technique.
- Mirror technique.

Repeat that loudly!

- Mirror technique!
- Mirror technique!

If you have a mirror, take it out.

If you don't, take out your phone
to check if your face is doing okay.

- You surprised me.
- What is this?

- It's unfair to be more handsome than me.
- Me?

Gosh, over here too.

How can you be this pretty?

Is it because the lecturer is hot today?

There are
only pretty and sexy people here.

If you look beautiful in your eyes,

that's a signal to tell you
that you're mentally healthy.

Even if you're tired of others who are
narcissistic, let's be understanding.

It's better than having people
whine and sulk, right?

Even on days you don't look
as nice in the mirror,

keep telling yourself you're beautiful.

You should pat and comfort yourself.

Even if nothing great happened,
be positive that nothing bad happened.

You should say you still did well.

Don't only look
after your physical health.

Please look after your heart too.
I'll finish the lecture here.

[Take this part out.]

[Literature Village, Mr. Jo]

Hello, Mr. Jo.

I was about to finish it off
and courier it to you.

[Can you bring it in person this time?]

[I have something to give to you.]

Of course.

I should go if you miss me.

Okay.

What a bloodbath.

Newbies try too hard to look cool.

That's why the subjects and verbs
get all muddled up.

The protagonist is an archaeologist,

but they kept on using abbreviations
young kids use these days.

That's why I took it out and changed it.

I wonder if it's the direction you wanted.

Gosh.

It looks like you paid
a lot of attention, Na-eun.

I thought I should make it obvious.

I didn't take it off on purpose.

You even talk the way I love.

It'd be good to publish your novel
at our company too.

- Have you read it?
- Of course.

You said you wrote it as an experiment,

but I could tell it took a lot of effort.

Did you say you started writing
ever since you worked for the paper?

No, I couldn't write much then.

When I was fired from my contract job,

I put in my everything into writing.

I see.

Actually, our company is really
conservative, especially to new writers.

But I'll do my best to get this
discussed at our all staff meeting.

I'd be honored just to get some feedback.

I'll bring you good news.

Right, right, right. Here.

["Useless Dating Dictionary"]

Please do your best
with this revision too.

Okay.

It looks like someone
was reviewing it already.

What?

Right. Hold on.

["Useless Dating Dictionary"]

This is a gift for you.

["The Man Is Coming"]

It finally came out.

["The Man Is Coming"]

[Proofreader: Lee Na-eun]

["The Man Is Coming"]

This has a lot of newly coined words,
so it'll take me double the time.

It's not like I can ask for more money.

Wait, when's the deadline?

Gosh.

Here. Please finish it off for me.

About Na-eun's book...
When will you take it to the meeting?

What are you talking about?

How can I take it to the meeting?

Didn't you just say it's good?

I have no time to read that.

She's not a writer nor did she
win a contest.

She doesn't have any background.

It's not an essay either.
How could she show me a novel?

After fixing other people's work,

she must think
she can write something too.

Is she arrogant or immature?

I think she got excited

because people around her said it's good.

I'll get going.

Na-eun.

I came to ask if you could thank
Writer Yoon

for liking what I fixed.

- Sir.
- Yes?

Thank you for being nice to me,

but I think this is where it ends.

Na-eun, it's a misunderstanding.

I can take the criticism
if my work is bad.

I don't mind being turned down harshly.

That might make me give up on writing,

or it could motivate me to write harder
out of spite.

Isn't it on you to help me do that?

You should do that instead of
lying and acting

as if you read it and care about me.

I'd rather be miserable.

You've made a fool out of me.

I think you're crossing the line.

I saw you as a good person.

I hope you can tell good writing
from a bad one.

You don't have to bother reading mine.

["Useless Dating Dictionary"]

I won't work with this company anymore.

[I didn't want to become a novelist
from the very beginning.]

[I thought it was a special job
only the people]

[born with talent would be able to do.]

[Call for proofreaders:
Company J, Company H]

[That's when I got greedy.]

[Marketability, storytelling]

[While fixing someone else's writing, ]

[I dreamed of writing my own.]

[I thought it'd be okay to be greedy
about one's dreams.]

[Delete this sentence.]

["The Winter Was Warm"]

[I didn't know letting the world
know about my dream]

[I deleted repeated words.]

[would make people ridicule me.]

Maybe I should've held it in.

I can't say I'll only work
on Writer Yoon's books.

No.

I'd be a fool had I let it go.

I won't starve to death, will I?

[Mom]

[Thank you for the 100,000 won
you sent for my birthday.]

[Although I don't know what I'd buy
with such little money.]

I'll send you more next time.

[You say you're too busy
and you never come home, ]

[so I thought you were earning a lot.
I guess I was wrong.]

Let's talk another time, Mom.

[Hey, why do you always say that
whenever I'm talking?]

[Can't you be nicer on a day like today?]

[Does it hurt to say happy birthday
and tell me you love me?]

[If you don't have money...]
- Let's talk later.

[What kind of daughter...]

Yes.

♫ Love ♫

There.

My phone...

Who is it?

What is with this concept?

Do you need to see your girlfriend
but want to work out too?

This is for you.

Gosh. It's heavy.

Is it what I think it is?

I brought a lot this time.

It'll be thrilling
for the next little while.

I'm not sure if I can continue
to ask you to hold onto these.

When you're not sure,
just remember one thing.

"The more the merrier".

My girlfriend is waiting for me.

You shouldn't make a lady wait.
Get going already

so I can spend a nice time thanks to you.

Oh, nice.

[My mind cleared up
when I made corrections.]

[And I thought to myself]

[that it'd be great
if I could just fix things in life.]

[Because sometimes, ]

[no matter how hard you try, ]

[there are things
that you can never turn back or fix.]

My gosh, what's that sound?

What's going on?
There's a crack in my wall.

My goodness, it happened to you too?
The same thing happened to my house.

This building is dangerous,
so you should move out right now.

What? "Right now"?

Hurry up. I'm going to check upstairs.

I called the police already,
and I'm going to call the district office.

It's going to take some time to fix this.

I'll give you a call.
Find another place to stay for now.

Where am I supposed to go?

No, I'm not lying.

[Your flight experience will be
different with our airline.]

- That's totally absurd.
- [-I know it sounds crazy.]

[But that actually happened to me.
Why me of all people?]

Use this chance to find a place
that gets some sunlight.

I can't expect to get sunlight

with a 3-million won deposit
and a 400,000 won monthly rent.

Guys with money like you will never know.

I only have enough money
to live underground.

I'm at the airport right now,
so let's talk later at A-reum's cafe.

Make sure you keep your eyes open.
Don't take the wrong bus again.

Okay, let's talk later. See you.

My gosh.

Sir, wait for me.

Sir, wait. I was really nervous earlier.

I know it was your first flight,

but you can't just go into the bathroom
and not come out.

To be honest, I threw up.

You came out looking pale.
Everyone knew you threw up.

I really couldn't calm myself.

Do you know how nervous we were
because of you today?

I'm sorry.

- You did great.
- What?

I said you did great.
The passenger wasn't angry anymore.

I noticed you're pretty good
at handling kids.

The kids kept crying,
so I didn't know what to do at first.

I started sweating because I was nervous,
but I suddenly figured I should hold them.

Next time, don't hold them like that
just because they're kids.

Some passengers might not like it.

- This time, consider yourself lucky.
- Okay.

And stop following me around.

- See you on our next flight.
- Okay.

Sir, I hope to keep learning from you.

[If you wish to change your flight,
please come to...]

Babe.

I think we should stop seeing each other.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

I'm really sorry.
Can you forgive me just this once?

I really shouldn't have done that.

Give me another chance.

I really thought you might change one day.

So I waited for you.

But I'm tired of waiting.

I really think we should break up now.

Do you still not know me?

They're fighting so early in the morning.
What a tiresome life.

- Didn't I make myself clear?
- Why bother dating people?

- Life is hard as it is.
- Don't you get it?

But couples are always fighting.

The reason I become furious
is because you never get it.

What gives you the right
to break up with me?

Why would I break up?

Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish?

You're scaring me again.

I keep telling you that I'm sorry.

I swear I won't do it again.
Don't you trust me?

My gosh, what's your problem?
Do you seriously want your life to end?

Are you not going to listen to me?

- Are you going to hit me again?
- Do you think I won't?

Gosh, my head.

What just happened?

Oh, my gosh. Mr. Cha, are you okay?

No, I'm not.

Why does it hurt so much?

Of course it hurts.

So you were the one who made me
feel a burn on the back of my head.

Are you normally a scumbag,
or have you just lost it?

Or are you a scumbag
who's also lost his mind?

How could you hit your girlfriend?

You don't even know anything.

Mr. Cha, that must've hurt so much.

Listen. It's not what you think it is.

To sum it up, it's a psycho...

"A psycho"? Unbelievable.
I can't believe you just proudly

called yourself a psycho.

Hurry up and apologize to your girlfriend.
Do it now!

Wait. Calm down.

Listen to me carefully--

You talk too much.

Who is your lucky boyfriend?

Do I look okay?

About as much as I'd hate
to see you leave.

Now?

We can't do it right now.

It's your fault for looking so sexy.

[Different Mental Health Clinic]

Okay, fine. It's nice that she is brave

and has a sense of justice.

But why won't she let me finish speaking?

If she doesn't fix that nasty temper,

she might really kill someone one day.

I got hurt for nothing.

Does she not know what it means to act?

This obviously wasn't a joke.
She actually hit you for real.

Does she have IED or something?

- No, it's nothing like that.
- Then what happened?

[Someone suddenly showed up]

and acted

like a hero.

So I ran over to that psycho

and smacked the back of his head.

Then I kicked his leg like this

and made him get on his knees.

My gosh.

What did the woman say?

Did she thank you
and shed tears of gratitude?

"Shed tears"?

Will you please let me go?

I really need to go back to him.

Gosh, why would you go back there?
He hit you, for goodness' sake.

I never asked you for your help.

You know nothing.
Why did you get involved?

Why is it so hard for you to understand?

Like I told you earlier, we were only...

Excuse me.

[Jinsil Books]

Hello, Team Manager.

I'll try to get it done in 15 days.

No, you can't...

Hello? No, I wasn't talking to you. No...

Do you think it's something similar
to Stockholm syndrome?

Maybe she feels sorry
for the guy who abuses her

and feels an emotional bond with him.

Didn't that guy come after her?

When stuff like that happens,
you should just call the cops.

He could've done something to her
while I waited for the cops.

You could've gotten involved
once he actually did something.

That psycho hit his girlfriend.

From now on, make sure you call the cops.

Your sense of justice is
just too much to handle.

- Hey, you're all here.
- Hey.

- You're here.
- Hey.

I came early to enjoy a cup of coffee.

I didn't expect to see all of you at once.

Don't you have an interview today?

The writer's studio is nearby.

I can't wait to interview Na-eun.

Pretty soon, you'll publish a book

and get your own studio.

A studio is out of the question.

- I don't even have a house.
- What happened?

Her place is about to collapse.

There's a crack on the wall.

- That's crazy.
- I know.

You can stay at my place.

Are you going to kick David out?

You won't get to be in his broad chest
with his manly arms around you.

And think of his moist lips.

Don't you think you'll miss that?

I don't think it'll work, Na-eun.

Hey, what about Hyun-jin's place?

You used up your entire leave this month
so you can go

on a trip with your girlfriend
after your flight.

It'll be empty for a few days.

You're leaving right away?

I'll be leaving on a trip.

But seriously? My place?

Don't pretend like it's nonsense.

I know you're going to let her stay.

When have you ever said "no" to Na-eun?

That's because she looks so pitiful.

And I don't think she'd want to stay
at my place anyway.

You're right. I don't want to.
But I have no other choice.

I can pay you 10,000 won a day.

- 10,000 won?
- Is that too little?

My gosh, rich people are greedier.

Okay, fine.

I'll pay you 13,000 won.
No more than that.

Forget it. Make sure to keep it clean.

See? What did I tell you?

Hyun-jin, are you sure about this?
You like your stuff clean.

You don't have

athlete's foot, right?

What? Do I look like I do?

- Yes.
- My gosh.

Don't you know

- how hard I try to keep my feet clean?
- Come on.

I always wash my feet before I go to bed.

My gosh.

Don't eat at my place. Don't drink either.

Especially no makgeolli.

What's wrong with makgeolli?

["Sir."]

"I'll get really drunk
if I drink makgeolli."

[13 years ago]

"Can I please drink craft beer?"

- How's that?
- That's good.

You should act cute like that.

Guys are weak for that kind of stuff.

Forget it.

Why would I act cute for them?

I'm worried you might stay single
even until you're old.

You know what?

If I'm single until I'm 35,

I'll be kind enough

to date you.

What is it?

Did I just make your heart flutter?

Yes, a little.

But I'm rarely ever single.

So it'll be impossible...

Hey, what are you doing?

Na-eun, don't tell me
you're about to puke.

Hey.

Hey!

He's right. Don't drink makgeolli.

Okay, fine.

Hyun-jin, I hope you have
a great trip with your girlfriend.

I'll take good care of your house
while you're gone.

[You know I live in a share house, right?]

[I should be there
to introduce you to everyone.]

[Happy Together, Co-living house]

[But I don't have time.]

[I trust that you'll do well.]

[It's right around the corner
after the convenience store.]

Why do I feel like I'm going backward?

Excuse me.

Do I need to go that way
if I want to go here?

Careful!

Thank you.

[Happy Together, Co-living house]

Thank you.

[Happy Together, Co-living house]

[Happy Together, Co-living house]

[Happy Together, Kitchen]

[Laundry]

[The passcode to my unit is my birthday.]

[Don't cook in here.
Use the shared kitchen.]

[If you have unfinished food,
wrap it with food wrap]

[or put it in a plastic container.]

It's like a supermarket.

[Don't keep the trash piled up.
Throw it away frequently.]

[Open the windows every day
for over 30 minutes for ventilation.]

[When you go outside,
keep the bathroom door open]

[so the water will dry.]

[Clean the room every day.
Or do it at least twice a week.]

I wonder if it's really okay for me
to live here.

[Happy Together, Co-living house]

[Director Cha Kang-woo]

Today, I feel like I should apologize
instead of doing counseling.

What do you mean?
I actually came to thank you.

It's true that I got scared that day,

and I really did get taken aback
because of what happened.

But it also taught me something.

When you apologize,
you need to show that you're sorry.

It's not a process of thinking about
what to say.

[You ended up getting on your knees
in front of her.]

[But you just stayed that way.]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

I think you're mistaken.

[And you stopped me
from trying to explain to her.]

I know you did all that for me.

You wanted to apologize like that
on behalf of the person who hurt me

hoping that it would help me
treat my scars.

Seeing you try so hard

made me realize
that although some people hurt others,

some people also try their best
to heal people.

You told me

that I was just unlucky

to have dated a guy like that

and reassured me that it wasn't my fault.

And don't forget this.

People make mistakes
when they build relationships with others,

but you can't ever call it a failure.

You're right.

So I decided to have hope in people.

This is the woman I told you about.

[Highnest Fashion]

I told you that I feel like
you'll get along well with her.

[Highnest Fashion]

What? You're doing another show?

You're taking over all the shows
in Daehak-ro.

You were already a star
back when you joined the acting club.

But why did you only send one ticket?

Do you think I'm always single?

[The doors are closing.]

No, I'm not interested in dating.
But I won't go alone.

You can look forward to it.

He's gone today?
I didn't know he left already.

I was going to ask him
to join me for a drink.

Let's take a look.

It still hurts.

I feel like there's a bump.

Are you the lady staying in Unit 302?
You're Lee Na-eun, right?

Yes. Hello.

Oh, hi. Welcome to Happy Together.

I'm Kim Dong-seok,
the owner of this share house.

By the way, did you eat dinner?
It's past dinner time right now.

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I'm asking because I always cook breakfast
for everyone apart from Sundays.

What do you like?
Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai,

- Italian, French--
- No, it's okay.

I don't need to eat breakfast.

Nothing at all?
Then should I cook you something simple--

I tend to sleep in.

I see.

Oh, right. Why don't we hold
a welcoming party tomorrow evening?

You'll run into the residents
while you're here.

So it'd be nice to get to know everyone.

No, I'm only going to be here
for a short while.

I don't want to cause a fuss.

I wonder if I made her feel uncomfortable
by talking too much.

No way. Pouring water to eat cup noodles
isn't considered cooking.

This smell will be gone in weeks.

This plan is perfect.

No, not at all.

Nothing is perfect with humans.

You can't even predict
what will happen to you in a second.

Let's see what she's like.

I'm going to assume
that you agree with me.

Now, I'll go ahead
and enjoy my cup noodles.

[Hyun-jin]

[You're still awake, right?]

[Did you read all the notes I left you?]

[Make sure you do what I say.]

[Why aren't you replying?]

[Hyun-jin]

Oh, my gosh!

What should I do?

My goodness.

Gosh, that looks really expensive.

I bet he'll throw a fit
if it leaves a stain.

[Are you kidding me?
Do you know how much I love that rug?]

I knew it.

The best white noise comes from

where the white goods are.
And reading a book there is

definitely helping me
understand the book better.

[Laundry]

Gosh.

[Hotel Africa]

Darn it.

[Strangely, he looks familiar.]

[This man is...]

[Isn't this jerk...]

To sum it up,

- it's a psycho...
- [-That psycho?]

[He's that psycho.]

What are you doing here?

I'm not doing anything here.

My coin fell.

Do you live here?

I would have definitely known about it.

By the way, why do you keep dropping
the honorifics when you talk?

I should ask you the same thing.
Why are you here?

To do laundry.

I live in Unit 301.

Are you here, visiting a friend?

Kyung-a? Bo-ra?

[Why does he have to live next door
out of all places?]

So you don't want to tell me.

Since we met again,

I ought to clear the misunderstanding
you have about me.

You know what? I'm not some kind of jerk
you seem to think.

And I'm not a violent person either.

That day, it was a type of treatment.
It's a psycho...

Right. There's no need to rush.

We're bound to meet again.

Wait. You forgot something.

Mind your own business.

There you go again. You and your temper.

What about the detergent?

I didn't bring my pillow.

Hyun-jin might not want to share it.

Darn it.

[Do you have a new pillow cover?]

[Do you remember the psycho
I told you about?]

[That jerk lives next door to you.
How is this possible?]

Seriously? Isn't that too dangerous
for you to stay there?

And he lives next door.

That's creepy.

So I texted Hyun-jin about it.

He said he would never do
anything like that.

Even Hyun-jin fell for his act.

If he's good enough to fool Hyun-jin,

he must be a professional.

Wait. But

he added the detergent for you.
I think he might be kind.

Kind, my foot.

That's a part of his act.

- To seduce you?
- Come on.

Listen. I'm just pointing out
that people won't be nice

to someone who hurt them.

He had to act all nice

to seduce all those women.

And that kind of act is ingrained in him.

Or could it be that he's trying

to avoid getting beaten up
after recognizing you?

- That's possible.
- Are you sure he beat up his girlfriend?

He did. I saw it with my own two eyes.

Where did he hit her?

It wasn't her face.
Anyway, I heard him slap her.

- Will you go to the welcoming party?
- Why would I go there?

Do you think I'll go there and say hi?

I'll try my best not to run into him.
I'll stay cooped up in my room.

No. Why must I be in hiding?

Who's calling? Is that owner calling you?

I doubt that Hyun-jin gave him my number.

- Hello?
- [-Is this Ms. Lee Na-eun?]

Who is this?

[This is Jang Eun-young.]

Hello, Ms. Jang. I'm quite
surprised to get a call from you.

[Why did you do it?]
- Pardon?

[After reading corrections, ]

[I thought I must have made
a huge mistake.]

[Why would you change my sentences?]

Only the team manager was
supposed to read my corrections.

[You must be confused about your job.]

[Listen carefully.]

[Your job is to fix the typos I made.]

[It's nothing more than that.]

[You must want to be a writer too.
Then do it.]

[Don't lash out on my writing
with your sense of inferiority.]

What is it?

Did the writer say something to you?

Do you

have some alcohol?

- Hey, man.
- [-You're attending the party]

for Unit 302, right?

Hyun-jin's friend is staying over
only temporarily. Why throw a party?

I have an English lesson after work today.

It's such a busy day.

I have a dinner appointment
with my client.

So I'm not sure.

If you happen to see his friend,
please don't talk about me.

Especially that I'm a psychiatrist.

Yes. Okay.

Gosh. But I can never trust this guy.

[First and Best Food Creator]

[Organic Whelk]

Unit 302.

Hello.

I see. You like beer.

Actually, I bought whelk, so we can eat

a whelk salad with beer.
What do you think?

No. I want to drink alone today.

Gosh, don't be like that.

All right.

All right. There.

I'll get them delivered with mine.

We just call it a welcoming party.
But we're just going to drink together.

So no pressure.
Come and have a few drinks.

I'll wait until you come.

You have to come.

Well, I had a feeling
that everyone would be busy.

And someone said, "Why throw
a party for a temporary visitor?"

Oh, right. I didn't have to say that.

Please don't mind what I just said.

I hope you won't think the residents here

aren't welcoming you because of this.

All right. To welcome you to our building,

let's clink our glasses.

- Sure.
- Okay. Cheers.

Try some of the food.

I didn't add gochujang,
so it would taste clean.

I only used chili pepper powder
and vinegar for the dressing.

[Hyun Publishing House]

[I'm afraid I don't have any good news.]

[The style of your writing isn't
what our publishing house is pursuing.]

[But I could tell you worked hard on it.]

You must have been very thirsty.

Why don't you slow down
and drink at a slower pace?

Was it a bad phone call?

Or do you not like the food?
Is there anything you're allergic to?

If you want something else,
I can make it for you.

I'm sorry.

I don't usually eat food when I drink.

I see.

Hey, Kang-woo.

My gosh. I knew you would come.

No. You can't leave so soon.

Kang-woo came to welcome you
to the building. Have just one more drink.

Kang-woo is a really good guy.

He's a good guy?

Do you honestly believe
that he's a good guy?

Even if you were able to fool the owner,

[Makgeolli]

there's no way
Hyun-jin also misjudged you.

You can't assume
everything you know about me is true.

Gosh.

[Attorney Lee]

Excuse me.

Gosh.

["The Man Is Coming"]

["The Man Is Coming"]

What? Why is this here?

["The Man Is Coming"]

Wait.

You enjoy reading a book like this?

Fine. To deceive people
that you're a good guy,

you would have to read a few books.

I guess you work in this industry.

Are you a writer?

I didn't write this.
But I did make corrections.

- Then, you're a writer.
- No, I'm not a writer.

I'm just a hard-working aspiring writer.

It's the same thing.
You can use the title in advance.

That's fraud.

I'm just a proofreader who fixes--

No one is arguing with you.
Why would you argue with yourself?

Aren't you going to be a writer anyway?

[Those mere words...]

Don't pretend you don't know me
when you become a writer.

I wouldn't be seeing you
when I become one.

I might be your fan.

[...made me feel warm inside.]

Gosh. Why are you so sober?

Only you drank.

Shouldn't you be all messed up?

After harassing that poor woman like that

and acting like a total jerk, you
shouldn't pretend that you're doing okay.

Gosh. But

I don't feel okay.

Can you tell me
in what ways my style of writing

doesn't suit what you're looking for?

Even if my work doesn't get published,
I'd like to get detailed feedback.

I've worked on it for years
and poured everything I had.

Please.

[Makgeolli]

I'm cold.

Is she still here?

[Happy Together, Co-living House]

Right. He must be a nice guy.

You...

[Be honest.
Your heart raced a bit, right?]
